Watercolour Inspirations

Following the success of his first book, Watercolour Flowers, David Easton focuses on drawing inspiration from a varied range of subjects including landscapes, still lifes, seascapes and trees. Sections on painting from the imagination and exploring natural forms such as flowers, delicately coloured shells and textured driftwood are included. The author's stunning colour paintings and sketches are used to illustrate both techniques and the beauty to be discovered in everyday, as well as unusual, objects and scenes. The techniques of painting wet-in-wet, wet-on-dry, line and wash, and resist methods are covered with step-by-step illustrations, and the effects achieved by combining watercolour with other mediums such as gouache, inks, pencils and crayon are explained. Information on use of colour, materials and equipment, composition and approaches to drawing make this book both a comprehensive and practical refernce book as well as a source of exciting and original ideas.
